I Don't Like Cats - by Howard Kern (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

In this a tender and beautifully illustrated tale unfolds about a determined young girl who dreams of welcoming a furry friend into her family. There's only one problem. Her father does not like cats.

I Don't Like Cats by Howard Kern features the conversation between young Lucy and her father. The two are alone in their house, and, while Lucy has friends at school, her father seems to be increasingly lonely and sad, spending hours just sitting dead-eyed in front of the TV.

One day, Lucy gets an idea. She has always felt a special connection to animals-especially cats. After school, she scoops up a neighborhood cat and brings it home, certain that, if her father just holds the cat for a few minutes, he will feel the glow, warmth, and magical ability that cats offer. She hopes that by having a cat, her father will feel less lonely and will get more involved in the activities he once enjoyed.

Filled with gentle humor, heartfelt moments, and enchanting artwork, I Don't Like Cats celebrates patience, compassion, and the everyday magic of letting love in. Perfect for young readers and families, this story is ideal for both cat lovers and those who still need a little convincing.
